Here's a question to ponder:

Now that Dish is signing deals with Comcast Chicago and West, I wonder if they'll ever go back and finally get Comcast Philly added.

Feel free to discuss...

In short, No. Any potential customer with a make-or-break decision based on CP has already left. For the significant cost of adding CP for all Philly area AT60+ and up subs, Dish wouldn't gain many new customers.

The situation in Chicago and, uh, West is very different. Acting now prevents potential sports-based churn, and I hope the new networks were hungry enough to make a reasonable deal.

ah ok then, i guess that's how it'll stay.

The whole RSN situation is getting out of hand anyways...
One of these days each team will probably end up with their own channel or maybe even the only way to watch games would be through ppv and RSNs would cease to exist...
